a Railroad Story.

A Chicago railroad man relates the
following of VIM. NJ. Clements, General
Manager Of the B 4 O., east Of the
Ohio river:
Clements career has been a remark
able one in many respects. and he Ger
tainly is remarkable man in every
respect Prior to the war he was 4
freight conductor on the Baltimore 4
Ohio. and lie first me: John w. Garrett.
then president of the road, near Wheel
ing. w. Va. Three rear cars Of Con-
ductor Clements train were derailed
one day near Wheeling, and Clements
took the red signal and went back to
an express, which he knew was follow
ing. He sent the engineer and fireman
ahead to stop all trains coming from
that direction and to get assistance,
hnrriedly calling out to a stupid brake
man: Pull the train ahead about a
hundred yards The rear ears had
commenced to burn from the broken
stove in the caboose, and Clements
wanted to save the valuable freight in
the others. The brakeman climbed
aboard the engine. but was too stupid
| to open the throttle. The whole train
was burned, causing loss Of over $751;
| 900.
When Clements returned to the scene
with some of the passengers from
the express, which he had stopped half
a mile away, he looked at the burning
cars, and stepping up to the stupid
brakeman. flpored him with one power
full blow A stout, quiet-looking pas
scnger walked up to Clements and
said: why did You desert your train?
You could have sent that man back
with the flag and saved those cars
yourself. 1t seems to me you don't
know your business
Clements is a broad shouldered six
footer, and when he glared at his au-
dacious critic many people supposed
there would be another knock-down.
Why you d fool!'' he replied, con-
temptuously, lido you suppose | was
going to trust that man. / knew he
was a fool like yourself, and that's the
reason let him monkey with the cars
while went back to look after human
lives"
Conductor, do you know who
amp
No: and / don't care d-!'
Il am John w. Garrett"
well, don't care if you are. Il
you value freight more than human
lives, don't. And will burn up I:
, dozen trains before I'll let one of you
Cheap John brakemen kill a few dozei
people.
Clements stalked away and husiet
himself directing the wrecking crew en-
gagged in clearing the track. Old mar
Garrett looked quietly on without utter
ing another word. The following weel
Clements was made passenger con
ductor, whereas every one suppose'
that he would be discharged. He ros
steadily until he became master of trans
portation of the whole road.

The delegates OF various industrial and re-
form political organizations have assembled
from thrty-two States and territories on this
anniversary OF the birth OF 1.-THE Father OF his
Country" to view the situation Of public affairs
and advice proper action. general discomfort
prevails on the part of the wealth producers.
Farmers are suffering from poverty which has
forced most OF them TO mortgage their estates
and prices Of products are 50 low as to offer NO
relief except through bankruptcy. Laborers
are sinking into greater and greater dependca nee.
strikes are rcsortcd to without bringing relief,
because Of the inability of employers in many
cases to pay living wager, while more and more
are being driven into the streets. Business men
find collections almost impossible. Meanwhile
hundreds OF millions OF idle cubic money which
il needed for relief Is locked up in the United
States Treasury In grim mockcry OF the distress.
Land monopoly hourishes - never before and
more and more owners Of the soil are daily be-
coming tenants. Great transportation corpora
tions still succeed in extorting their profits up-
on watered stock through unjust charges. The
United States Senate has become an open scan
dial, its seats being purchased by the.rich in de-
Aance Of the popular will. trifiing fisheries
dispute is riezed upon as an excuse for equan-
dering public money upon unnecessary military
preparations which are designed to breed spirit
OF war, to ape European despotism and to empty

ceedings the matters OF the Hebrew Union
College came up, and the lack OF liberali-
ty in its support WIS very much deplored.
Finally after several delegates had theor-
lied and discussed the ways and means of
remedying this, and especially dwe}t upon
the desirsbility Of raining $4,000 to en-
dow chair Of the Talmud, DR.. Sesaler
took the liberty Of speaking. and the Dis.

ished his remarks by offering to contrib.
ute $50 year to the support Of the col

bis death he promised that his son ehould
continue the contributions. This had the
effect Of opening the purses Of many more,
